Microsoft Extends Product Lifecycle

Posted by timothy on from the good-if-you-use-their-stuff dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft has decided to extend product support on business and developer products effective June 1, 2004. Mainstream support remains unchanged at 5 years, extended support is greatly extended from 2 to 5 years and Online self-help support is extended from 8 to 10 years. I have to say kudos to Microsoft on this one."

    If you can't figure out an OS in 5 years, maybe you should reconsider the whole "computer" thing.
